Two of the top cornerbacks in the prospect pool, South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse and Tennessee’s Colton Hood, joined that list.
While Cisse is set to visit the team sometime this week, according to a report by ESPN’s Jordan Reid, it appears Hood has already made the trip to Lumen Field. In an Instagram post by New Mexico edge rusher Keyshawn James-Newby (who also visited the Seahawks), a graphic welcoming Hood can be seen on a Jumbotron. With the loss of Riq Woolen in the offseason , cornerback has been a hot topic around Seattle, with numerous mock drafts sending one of these two to the Seahawks.
In particular, Cisse has been a popular pick for the Seahawks at No. 32 because of his athletic ability and 9. 24 relative athletic score .
The 20-year-old Cisse transferred to South Carolina after two years at North Carolina State and posted quiet numbers on the stat sheet, racking up just 27 tackles, one forced fumble and one interception, but he’s still one of the top corners in this draft. NFL. com analyst Lance Zierlein said that Cisse’s upside comes from his explosiveness, and the team that selects him will have to work to build up his man coverage skills.
